My pink rubber boots are made for walking in the forest. That’s what I did one rainy afternoon, and I was happy to find beautiful red lingonberry gems. Although I couldn’t find a lot of perfectly ripe ones, I did gather enough for a special autumn treat: lingonberry coconut porridge with apple sauce.

Lingonberry porridge has a special place in my heart as it’s the porridge I used to eat at my grandmother’s house when I was a little girl. The porridge was almost as pink as my boots, it was fluffy and comforting. The porridge I made is comforting too, but nothing like my grandma’s creation. I bet she would’ve loved my version too.
